Ransom Eli Olds built an experimental three-wheeled steam car in 1891, following this six years later with a single-cylinder petrol-engine vehicle of dogcart type. He then made a small number of electric cars, before producing his famous Curved Dash Oldsmobile Runabout, the world's first mass-production automobile selling 2100 cars in 1902 and over 5000 in 1904.
